So you have a database name? You now need to create a user for the database. The option for this should be in the same area in which you created the database.

Database name: You need to create a mySQL database where you're hosting your site. To do this use your hosting control panel, or contact your hosting provider. Database username: Database password: You will get these after creating the database or once the provider has create the database for you. It's the username and password used to connect to the database. Database prefix: This can be whatever you want... it's basically a name that is put in front of the table name in the database to help distinguish the tables from other tables you might have in the database for other software. You can leave it blank if you wish.

Very nice. The red on blue text at the top clashes a little. You should smooth out the background image to remove the image noise. Is it just me, or does the on-the-fly image transparency make the text difficult to read?

This occurs when the cart thinks the footer has been tampered with... which will be a symptom of a partially upgraded 3.0.9 as in this upgrade the footer will have changed removing the actual version number. Try uploading the files again.

Can you post the address?

I can't see their problem either.... but they're just being a pain. I'm not too worried I guess, but would be a great mod if it can change the currency when the link is followed! Edit: BTW, I've posted in the .org forum, as this is only visible through the search facility now.

After much annoyance with the Google/Froogle people, they really are a pain. The currency in the Froogle feed must be the same as the default currency shown on the site. That is to say, if I wanted my store which has a default currency of GBP, to be listed in the .com Froogle, then I must change my default currency to USD. Seems they think .com is used only in the US. If the default currency on the site is different to the Froogle feed, the feed will be rejected. So although this multicurrency feed is a great idea in principle, it's not actually very usable. :innocent:

If you can let us know what you're doing that doesn't work, we can help you get back on the right track to a successful upgrade .

Check out this thread And CubeCart.org as also mentioned.

:lol:

I was referring to the other way being the possible removal of the version number in a future release (see the thread I linked to) that Brooky indicated he was considering as an option. The licensing method was the quickest by comparison. I was not indicating any other method.

The only way to remove the version number is to license your store, otherwise you will be breaking the copyright. If you have any questions, contact Brooky. Was it something I said Estelle? ;)

Very easy, just edit the global templates and/or CSS files. You should also change the width to be 100% rather than a fixed width, and in the parent wrapper try to remove the side borders. At the moment, it doesn't really work on lower screen resolutions.

This issue has been brought up before. The version number thread is here. If you are worried about the version number being visible, then the quickest way to remove it is to license CubeCart. This removes the automated header and footer text. Regarding the version details coming up in Google for your site, you will get this for a while as the results are not retrieved from the live site, but rather from their database of information gathered from previous robot visits. Hope this helps.

From my experience British banks are very reluctant to help online businesses. With extortionate setup fees and ongoing monthly fees it's no wonder PayPal and NoChex are the preferred options.

Very nice. Great work. The only thing I've noticed is that the cart template has a slightly different layout (and less styled), and the search and login dialogs are higher therefore bordering/over the graphics. Other than that, excellent work. ;)

I have a contract, terms and conditions and I get 20% deposit with a clause in the contract saying I can ask for money (to cover work done) each month if the project drags out. I state that the full amount is due on completion of the site development, no matter if I am also adding their content or not (as this can be a delaying tactic by some people). If I am adding their content, they can take ages to write it, or sort out product pictures, if payment was dependent on the content then I'd never get paid. I typically split out the costs into sections to make it easier for them to decide what they want. I split it out into Design (unique); development (of unique design, or from example site or their design); and content (per 20 products, or for brochure style site a fixed price cutting off at the stage the site goes live). This method makes sense to the customer, and easier to enforce as they have agreed to it up front. I also state in the contract that I own the copyright to the site design, not them. Hope this helps.

I'm guessing you uploaded the 'upload' directory. Therefore look for an 'upload' directory on the server? You need to upload the files at the same level as they exist on the server, so they do get overwritten. Take a backup of both the files and database first! Backups are ALWAYS very important with ANY upgrade.

When you uploaded the files, did your FTP program tell you that you were overwriting files? It sounds like you've not uploaded to the correct place.

Have you tried re-adding the product images using Admin? Are the thumbs in the correct format, using the correct naming convention, in the correct location with the correct CHMOD?

I've not tried version 2, so I don't know whether if v3 uses the same table names. You might be lucky in that the data is still there in the v2 DB table structure. However if the tables have been overwritten or modified, and you have no backup, then yes you will have to add all your products again.

Also, backing up just the public_html directory will NOT backup the database, as the database is not stored there. You will need to do this separately, and before you attempt to upgrade the software (just in case).

The path to the image is incorrect. One the site is interpretted as "http://shopon.co.uk/shop/public_html/shop/skins/Killer/styleImages/paypallogo.gif" Looking at your code... ="/public_html/shop/skins/Killer/styleImages/paypallogo.gif" Change that line in the skin for this... ="../styleImages/paypallogo.gif" That should work.

You could make the shop in the same style as your main site? It would look so much better.

Why not use the same (or similar) theme as your main site? Would look great (wide, but great). ;)
